Answer

For: $$f(x)=\frac{x+2}{x}$$ $Domain :$$$ Domain: (0,\infty) and (-\infty,0)$$ f(x) has defined values for all x except x=0 $$ $$ Range:$$ (\infty,1) ,and, (-\infty,1)$$ For: $$f(x)^{-1}= \frac{2}{x-1}$$ $$ Domain: x\ne1 $$ all real numbers except x≠1 $$ Range: (1,\infty) ,and, (1,-\infty)$$

Work Step by Step

Step1: Given$$f(x)=\frac{x+2}{x}$$ Step2: Simplify $$f(x)=\frac{x+2}{x}=1+\frac{2}{x}$$ Step3: Defining Domain and Range $$f(x)=\frac{x+2}{x}=1+\frac{2}{x}$$ $$ Domain: (0,\infty) and (-\infty,0)$$ f(x) has defines values for all x except x=0 $$ $$ Range:$$ (\infty,1) ,and, (-\infty,1)$$ $\lim\limits_{x \to -0}1+\frac{2}{x} =-\infty$,and $\lim\limits_{x \to +0}1+\frac{2}{x} =+\infty$ Likewise, $\lim\limits_{x \to -\infty}1+\frac{2}{x} =1$,and $\lim\limits_{x \to +\infty}1+\frac{2}{x} =1$ when x is very small, such as 0.0000001,and, -0.0000001 f(x)= large and undefined, but, when x is large, such as 1,000,0000,and -1, 000,0000 then f(x)= 1. Step4: Finding Inverse- Switching the places x and f(x) $$x=1+\frac{2}{f(x)}$$ $$f(x)^{-1}= \frac{2}{x-1}$$ $ solving for f(x) $ Step5: Domain of $f(x)^{-1}$ $$ Domain: x\ne1 $$ all real numbers except x≠1 Step6: Range of $f(x)^{-1}$ $$\lim\limits_{x \to1^{-} }\frac{2}{x-1}=-\infty$$ $$\lim\limits_{x \to\infty^{-} }\frac{2}{x-1}=0$$ $$\lim\limits_{x \to1^{+} }\frac{2}{x-1}=+\infty$$ $$\lim\limits_{x \to\infty^{+} }\frac{2}{x-1}=0$$
